The Lacking Details

The title and a first listen make you think this is a retro thing, but it is more of a weird synthesis from a group of Scandinavian musicians.

Another stunning set of songs from these Vancouverites, full of fuzz and dynamics.

This is Ian Svenonius’ latest foray, a beatbox-backed recitation of lackadaisical poetry swimming in over-the-top soul delivery.

Intriguing set of well-crafted songs from this solo artist.

Sparse and electronic, sometimes abrasive, this project from Swedish vocalist Karin Elisabeth Dreijer can be difficult and/or rewarding.

Rock latino, full-on-boogie, or as they say in their native Colombia, “bugi.”

Swirling and pounding sounds with reverb-drenched vocals from this Swedish “post-punk” outfit

Dan Bejar’s own project features his distinctive voice and musical mannerisms, carried over from the ‘80s.

Wildly dynamic outfit with in-your-face female vocals. Sounds twenty years old and completely new at the same time.

Such grand disaffection from this US/AUS pairing … my new favorite Kurt and Courtney, providing the weirdest yet most natural male/female vocal duets.
